 I took my vehicle in for the routine oil change at the dealership i purchase the vehicle. after that day, the vehicle vibrates to the point you cannot play a cd. they are telling me this is how the vehicle performs. i have been to the dealership many times with the same response. i also have taken it to other chrysler dealership with the same answer, it seems that the answer is the same after they look at the repair history. i also have met with the chrysler marketing rep twice, and the dealership told me that the chrysler technical rep drove the vehicle. yet when i requested a encounter with him they declaim and said there is no technical rep. i also met with the general manager from the dealership twice, sales manager many times, i need this to be look into because i think my vehicle was tampered with, because if it was running like this when i bought it i would have not bought it. the vibration is getting worst. i do have a extended warranty, that i cannot use because they refuse to even look at the vehicle. their solution was to sell me another vehicle, which i declined because they wanted more money down. why should i buy another vehicle when i have a new one that they destroyed.
